Using The Rig Kontrol As Your Default Audio Interface - Native Instruments Guitar Rig Kontrol Hardware Reference Manual

s r : Choose a sample rate that is compatible with your music application and
amPle ate
suited to your computing power. Per default, the sample rate is set to 44100 Hz
(CD-Quality). Higher sample rates may improve sound quality, but will cause a higher
CPU load as well.
It is recommended that you try the latency presets first and then continue with the
subsequent steps of the installation. Once you are finished, you should revisit the Audio
and MIDI Settings to figure out the best latency setting for your system. If audio dropouts
occur with the preset minimal latency, you can try the low latency or standard latency set-
tings instead. Higher latency values will reduce the probability of audio dropouts.
